In 1983 BMW took the M88/3 engine (originally built for the first BMW M power car-the M1) and put it in the E24 chassis of the BMW 6 series, creating the BMW M635CSI (known as the BMW M6 in North America).It has a top speed of 158 mph making it the second fastest BMW next to the BMW M1,due to all other BMWs being fitted with an electronic speed limiting device which limits their top speed to 155 mph. The BMW M6 E24 achieved 0-60 mph (249 kw/h) in 6.8 seconds for American models and 6.0 seconds for European versions . The BMW M6 was fitted with the catalyzed S38B35 motor, producing 256 bhp (191 kW) and 243ft-lbf (329 N-m) of torque. The non catalyzed version produced 286 bhp (213kW) and 251 lb ft (340 N-m) of torque. The non catalyzed versions were only produced in Europe. Production of the BMW M6 E24 ended in 1989 with 5,859 sold, 1,767 of which were sold in North America(U.S and Canada) models.

A top speed of 155 mph (electronically limited) but delimited it'll do 205mph.The car originally has 399 bhp but when you press the M button allows the full 507 bhp.It has a carbon fibre reinforced plastic roof panel as well as thermoplastic front wings, alumininum doors and bonnet (hood) and compound trunk (lid) therefore making it weigh 1,710 kg. In the 2010 model year, the M6 was the second-most expensive BMW sold in the U.S. after the 760Li ($137,000), with an MSRP of $108,150 for the convertible and $102,350 for the coupe.
